I DO NOT OWN SAILOR MOON OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM IT!
Chapter 2
"It all started the night we all left. Ken and Lita
both took their cars. Amy,
Greg, Mina, and I rode with Lita.
Andrew, Chad, Rita, and Alan, rode with Ken."
I saw Darien
tense up at Alan's name but I kept going, "We had about a
thousand
dollars all together. We drove to Georgia, got to
Atlanta and spent the night
there. The next morning we started on
our way to Texas. It was great at first
when we still had money,
but gas costs a shit-load so it didn't go very
far. After a week
we got to New Orleans, that place was even worse than they
had
shown it on the news. All of our money was gone, we didn't have
enough to buy food and we sure as hell couldn't afford a hotel.
So we
picked stuff up from the wreckage."
"One
night while we were all asleep, Ken went and sold his car. I thought
Lita
was going to kill him, not in the good way."
Darien
cracked up at that.
"What the fuck is so funny?"
He
stopped laughing, "It's just I haven't heard that since you
left."
"May I continue now, asshole?"
He looked
at as if he was fighting the urge to say something but instead said,
"Sure, go ahead."
"Now as I was saying, I
thought she was going to kill him, but at least we had
money. We
took a vote and decided to head to a big city like New York. We
bought plane tickets. We had about ten dollars left when we got
there, so we
where living on the street. Amy became a prostitute
to get some money and Greg
started stealing. One of Amy's
customers gave her pot instead of money. We all
smoked some and
got hooked. Then we started doing whatever we could get our
hands
on the stuff."
"In December of 2010 Amy got pregnant.
She went into labor in on June 18; we
didn\rquote t have enough
from us to take her to the hospital so Greg tried to
steal a guys
credit card and got shot. He died of blood loss two hours
later.
We put him in a bag in the dumpster. Well Amy was screaming her head
off
so we took her to the hospital anyway. The baby was fine
aside from the fact
that it was so small, but poor little Amy's
body just couldn\rquote t handle
it, she died. We all decided to
name the baby Amy after her mother. She was
going to have to stay
in the hospital for a month and a half."
"One
of the nurses must have thought we looked stoned 'cause she made all
of us
take a drug test. I was in rehab for three weeks. I don't
know what
happened to everyone else, I haven't seem then since. I
was the only
person that claimed the baby. I took her with me and
made my way to Tennessee.
I stayed with an old friend; he would
help take care of the baby while I was
studying to graduate high
school.
I
got my GED and I was studying to be a fashion designer. In April I
got a job
working at a small wedding dress shop. I made good
money. About 2 weeks ago I
got a job down here at the Tripp
Company. Seyia is taking care of Amy while
I\rquote m getting
settled in. He's bringing her down here in three days. I've
got
an apartment in Gastonia. Amy is almost a year old, she looks just
like her
mother, but she acts just like me. I love her to
death."
Darien looked at me, "Why didn\rquote t you come
and get me, I would have gone."
I stared at him, "We tried to but you weren't at home you where at some party
with
Ray. How long have you been married?"
He looked away from me,
"A day."
I stand up and turn around to face him,
"What?"
"I asked her to marry me last night. We got
married by the Justice of the
Peace. We weren't even dating. I
was sick of being alone."
I throw my cigarette down, "I
have things to do. I'll see you
around." I turn around and
start walking to my car. I feel his hand grab my arm.
"Call
me if you ever need anything, or need some one to talk too,"
Darien lets
go of my arm. I get into my car and start towards my
apartment.
